The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine is offering a one week (5 days) full-day training course on researching gender-based violence. The cost of the course is £850, currently about $1175. From the abstract:
"The course is intended for individuals who will conduct or commission research on gender-based violence. It will be of particular interest to those who want to add a 'violence component' to study that is quantitative or qualitative study or an intervention evaluation. It is relevant for individuals working on health-related topics such as, sexual and reproductive health, maternal health, HIV, mental health and substance use.
"Upon completing the course, participants will have a strong understanding of: current gold standard methods to conceptualise and measure violence exposures, various methodological techniques for assessing the relationship between violence and health outcomes; and practical issues faced when meeting ethical and safety obligations."
